Progressive Party of Cape Colony

The Progressive Party was a liberal political party in the Cape Colony that was active from 1890 to 1910. The party was formed by pro-imperialist politicians Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Milner, and John Gordon Sprigg, and they were in power from 1900 to 1908. They lost the 1908 election to the rival South African Party, and it merged into the Unionist Party in 1910.
